| Reuseable language data is collected as atomic pieces in the root of the

+infobox("For languages with non-latin characters")
| In order for the tokenizer to split suffixes, prefixes and infixes, spaCy
| needs to know the language's character set. If the language you're adding

| to keep this simple and readable. If the language requires very specific
| punctuation rules, you should consider overwriting the default regular
